註釋
"This book presents three essays on Cuba by Nobel prize winning author Gabriel Garcia Márquez. Here he describes the early days of the Cuban revolution and the impact of the US blockade of the island, first declared in February 1962, that remains in place with devastating effect to this day. The second essay relates the extraordinary and largely unknown episode of Cuba's role in Africa, when in 1975 the Cuban government sent troops to aid newly independent Angola resist an invasion by South Africa, an outstanding example of international solidarity that not only assisted Namibia gain its independence but ultimately helped to bring down the apartheid government in Pretoria. In the third essay, Garcia Marquez offers an intimate reflection on his longtime friend, Fidel Castro, describing him as "a man of austere ways and insatiable illusions, with an old-fashioned formal education, of cautious words and simple manners and incapable of conceiving any idea that is not out of the ordinary."--Page 4 of cover.
